Google is moving further and faster into enterprise networking services. The opportunity is to leverage a global network footprint – over 70 points of presence across 33 countries – to deliver enterprise networking services with the same low latency and responsiveness as Google’s own services. Google's ambition is to enable enterprises to run mission-critical workloads by connecting their on-premises infrastructure to Google’s network with enterprise-grade encryption.
This week the company is announcing several enhancements:

General Availability of Cloud DNS - enables customers to host millions of zones and records and handle SLA-backed name-serving queries. For customers with more than 10,000 zones, our new pricing tier lowers the cost of ownership for large organizations operating DNS infrastructure at scale.

Beta of VPN - enabling enterprises to connect their on-premises infrastructure to Google’s network over encrypted channels to run data-intensive, latency-sensitive workloads.

11 additional Carrier Interconnect service providers - bringing the total number of announced partners to 18. Ingress is free and egress is priced at $0.04/GB in North America, $0.05 in EU and $0.06 in APAC.
